Thanks for showing how to disconnect the mid deck! I've been watching videos on this, but this one was for sure the best. Just a note, if you leave the plastic on the seats and you use the tractor in humid weather you WILL get mold/mildew on it.

I like the steps on your tractor. Who makes those?

Thanks for the video! I was hoping you could answer a follow up question. Where did you get that nice black step you have attached on the left side of your tractor? Could really use one on ours 1:06

I got my 2025R in 2021. I have about an acre of lawn to cut. I decided to get the least expensive zero turn from JD. The price was about the same as the deck.

I have the 60D deck and load-n-go plus Mudd Customs deck stands. Stores the deck upright and loader does the work. What year is your deck ?

I'm stuck with the 60" mid deck on my 2025R since I got it. ITs not the best for my land, but it's really all I could get here in Hawai'i. I really want a rotary cutter but I can't get one here easily even if I order one. With the high, heavy and thick grass the mid deck simply cannot do what it really needs to do.

Thanks for the great content, but I almost stopped watching in the first 2 minutes due to the audio being so hideously awful.

It was distorted to the point of being unintelligible - something must have been screwy with your audio levels, and it was only playing from the right channel.

The review was great though, it's good to get a practical insight into it before shelling out the considerable amount of money to buy one of these decks.
